Andrew Excuse me, but what is so important about this
‘meeting’?
Teacher Well, that’s an interesting question. You probably
know Alexander the Great, but do you know who
Diogenes was?
Andrew Hmm…
Tony I know! Wasn’t Diogenes the eccentric philosopher
who the ancient Athenians admired greatly?
Teacher Exactly. He believed that human beings shouldn’t
live their lives in luxury. And he also thought that
people shouldn’t be fussy about where they sleep
or what they eat and they should know how to tell
their friends from their enemies. So, can any of
you guess what is so important about this meeting?
